Google is giving away access to an automated tool for writing computer code, as it tries to catch up to Microsoft in a growing business for artificial-intelligence providers.
The company is adding a free tier to its Gemini Code Assist service that includes 180,000 snippets of AI-generated code per month, roughly 90 times what competitors offer.
Software engineers are increasingly writing code with AI tools such as Microsoft's GitHub Copilot and Cursor, a program developed by Andreessen Horowitz-backed startup Anysphere.
Sundar Pichai, chief executive of Google parent Alphabet, recently said more than a quarter of the company's new code is AI-generated.
Google, which was slower than competitors to release an AI coding tool, hopes generous free-usage limits will lure new customers. Subscription plans with additional features start at $19 per month per user.
